Special Degree Program

PhD programmes

These three-year programmes are designed for students who wish to carry out research work and receive a PhD degree in their study field. Students are assigned to a research supervisor from the beginning of the programme. It is the task of the supervisor to advise the PhD candidate during the course work and the research period. The degree-acquiring process includes three elements: to pass the doctoral rigorosum, to write and defend the thesis-proposal, and to write and defend the final doctoral thesis. The thesis must be submitted not later than the end of the fifth year of the programme.

Double degree programmes

The double degree programmes enables students to obtain the full degree of the partner university in addition to the degree from the home university after completing a given number of semesters abroad. A double degree typically takes less time to complete. A double degree is a great opportunity to gain international and intercultural experience.

Joint programmes

Joint degree programmes (curricula, admission and examination regulations) are jointly developed and recognised by several partner universities. Students spend a part of their studies – a minimum of 30 ECTS credits - at another (in some cases two or three) institutions and the period of study and credits are automatically recognised at the student’s home institution. The teaching staff of the participating institutions work out the curriculum together and also teach at the other institutions. Upon successful completion of the study programme, students receive either national degrees from the individual institutions or a degree which is jointly conferred. These programmes are usually offered at master’s level.
